If you really love the job as you say you do then you can offer something else. Its silly to whine that you can't do the job that you love under the terms that you want. Most situations involve some give and take. If you counter offer, you can respond that sleep schedules are variable and you need to rely on a regular weekly pay amount. You can offer a lower rate than $15 average an hour or you can offer to more tasks (all laundry, cooking, dusting, changing bed sheets, mopping floors etc)) during nap time."

Brilliant advice except that OP hasn't found other offers that pays what she want and have one baby. No job pays less than a job slightly less than your desired range. OP has choices. She can try to negotiate understanding that negotiating means you give up something too or she decline and hope the perfect job materialized at some point for her. [/quote]

True, but then a week later she could find an amazing position that DOES pay what she wants. If she were to take this at a much lower pay than she wants (which usually means than she can afford to live on as well), then that is just stupid. She will regret her decision and then start to resent the family that she is working for. That wouldn't be a thing good to do. While some negotiations and give and take is necessary, it would be likely that the nanny would be doing most of the sacrificing in this situation and it really needs to be a more even of a negotiation for both parties to stay happy long term.[/quote]
